I would like to offer a "mini-form" on my homepage that would allow people to signup for my newsletter. The form would ask for their email. When they press submit, I want them to be taken to an expanded version of the form where they fill out there name and a few other details.

My question is, if they fill out their email address on my homepage, how can I get the email address value to be auto-populate on the next page?

Also here is a link to a tutorial that give an explanation of how it works:

Hope that helps and good luck.

Hmz,

It seems that u understand the code very well Requestcode

Now I have a question.

This script works grate, but can it be modified so the text that u send to another page will not apear in a textbox but in plain text so I can put it on my webpage. This way the script will serve as a "Next" button, on when clicked brings u to a page where u can verify your data and then let it be send to me.

You want to display the data and if it is correct they can have it emailed to you or if it is not correct then send them back to the preveious page? Are you using a server side script to mail the data or the "mailto:" in the action field.
